[PATCH] platform/x86: hp-wmi: Add support for OMEN MAX 16-ak0xxx (8DD6)

[Krishna Chomal]

The HP OMEN MAX 16-ak0xxx (board ID: 8DD6) has the same WMI interface
as other Victus S boards, but requires quirks for correctly switching
thermal profile.

After testing we know that (similar to another HP Omen Max 16 device,
board ID 8D87), the embedded controller on this board does not expose
thermal profile which means we have to intentionally disable EC readback.

Add the DMI board name to victus_s_thermal_profile_boards[] table and
map it to omen_v1_no_ec_thermal_params.

Testing on board 8DD6 confirmed that platform profile is registered
successfully and fan RPMs are readable and controllable.

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo-next branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo-next branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.

FYI [if applicable to your patch], as per Linus' policy change, also
fixes are mostly routed through for-next unless the fix is for a
commit introduced in the most recent cycle or is clearly a regression
fix.
